Safety tips for using infrared brooder lamps
Infrared brooder lamps pose a fire hazard if misused. Follow these precautions: keep 250 watt lamps at least 12 inches from litter, use higher distances for higher wattage, mount lamp high and securely, use a hood with a circular lower loop, hang by chain not cord, use a porcelain socket, ensure the hood can roll if the lamp falls, and avoid plastic sockets. Tests show litter can char at six inches and ignite at three inches with air motion, so proper setup minimizes risk.
